Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Step 1

Melt butter over medium heat in a 5 quart dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Add onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add in the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the dill, paprika, soy sauce, and vegetable broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and very gently simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch and milk until completely blended; stir mixture into the soup until incorporated. Place the cover back on the pot and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 10 or so minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne.

Step 5

Cook for another 3 minutes or so over low heat until warmed through (do not allow it to boil.)

Step 6

Serve in bowls and garnish with sautéed mushrooms, a dollop of sour cream, and additional parsley. Enjoy with some crusty bread on the side.
